   Step 1: Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag; add chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and 1/2 of the beer. Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator, at least 1 hour.

   Uses 3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves · 1 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce · Half the 12-fluid-ounce beer for the marinade

   Step 2: Heat olive oil (1 tablespoon) in a skillet over medium-high heat; pour chicken and marinade into the hot oil. Cook and stir, adding the remaining beer, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
